It's my understanding if it doesn't recognize the face, it just doesn't unlock. Craig Federighi said to disable Face ID, push or squeeze the buttons on both sides of the phone. That should bring up the passcode screen.

I think everybody has private information on their phones. But mine is either in my hand or my pocket or the console of my car. I don't see how anybody could get any information out of my phone, even unlocked.

Wouldn't "They" be thieves? Let's say your phone is in your car console, you park in a Walmart parking lot, get out and go inside. Then immediately realize you don't have your phone. You go back to your car to see a busted out window and your phone is gone.
Or, you stop in a convenience store, set your phone down to make change, pay for your purchase and leave. You then realize you left your phone on the counter. You go back and it's gone. The clerk has no clue. Anything can happen. And it does every day to people who say what you said.
